“The old lady they call the Cornish witch?”“Yeah, she’s such a vibe, Granny Pearl!”
In a farmhouse on the Lizard, teenager Rose cares for an old lady called Pearl. But it’s not just Pearl’s humour that is breaking boundaries, turns out this old lady can break through boundaries into other worlds too! Suddenly, mischievous sprites are urging the old lady to share her story and bewildered Rose is taken on a time-travel adventure back to Cornwall in the 1930s and ‘40s, through Pearl's childhood and adolescence.
But Pearl harbours a painful secret. And Rose is trying to decipher the messages of the sprites. What happened at the standing stone? Who is the boy caught in the betwixt and the between? And why is Rose, of all people, on this journey?
Tamara Rosenwyn’s play reveals that the power of our imagination is timeless, and that with inner grit, time and a deep dig into the soul, pearls of wisdom can be formed!
Tamara Rosenwyn is a Cornish playwright from The Lizard, known for her magical-realism plays which explore modern cultural issues interwoven with Cornwall’s heritage and folklore.
